This is a seriously good price, compared to sailing dyneema.
FYI, the KN rating is multiplied by roughly 10 to get kg. This is by far the cheapest dyneema braid I have found, and its near the B/S of the others too.
40p/metre!

Nice, but i wonder if they really ship overseas, i can't find any info about that?Originally Posted by turnerminator
From customsplice i ended up with $1/m and here it's £1/m + shipping.
Btw, didn't have to pay any custom fees from Customsplice.
It's so strange that the Amsteel is so cheep over there,
the rumor says it's originally comes from our side of the world.
This may help to compare the American Archaic measurements with proper metric ones.

Boy, u really post fast, don't you
That's cheep!
But it depends what you want to use the rope to!
I think that's braided rope, it wont do if you wanna make whoopie slings!
Retiered climber here.
Yeah, i already got almost the same list here, that inch (7/64) system is a total mystery
ta-dah
marlow excel d12 3mm/17mtr reel £24.90= £1.46/mtr or 2.5mm/30mtr reel £25.50=£0.85/mtr
Thanks for the maths Turnerminator, I looked at the Needlesports link but I'm after the whoopie stuff myself. I've bought from Needlesports before back when I used to climb, in fact I think my current hammocks using a ridgeline and end ropes from there.
Nice line, I'm a bit dubious of the rating for the 2mm stuff though since it's SK75, I might check that out. the 4 sounds like more than enough though.
Edit: I just put in an order for some of the noname 3mm dyneema from sailingmad and for 2.5 excel max for £10/10mtr (inc pnp) from an ebay shop, I'll let you all know how that turns out.

I've just found some 12 strand 2.5 mm Marlow D12 for 99p/ m from rope locker.
Not as cheap as Drops link, but they sell it singly.

I got my D12 that I used for my whoopie slings from these guys, I'm in the UK at my parents in Plymouth, they were friendly enough and looked a very professional outfit when I popped into the shop.
Thats good to know, thanks Col.
I'm going to go with the d12 max from these guys for my suspension.
BTW, I hope your not stranded in the UK by the ash cloud.
